Same problem.
Booted Knoppix from a CD. Ran great.
Said screw RH and installed Knoppix.
Hate to be so bubbly about knoppix, but in four instances of
X/video problem it has worked when others do not.
Don't know enough about X to know why.

Subject: [ctl-linux] window manager issues
Hi,
I installed RH8 on a box using a VIA EPIA-M Mini-ITX Mainboard. When I
booted the system I got an error message to the effect that the board
was newer than the version of XFree86 in the Red Hat 8.0 distribution.
Next I went to the XFree86.org site got the newest version (4.3.0),
installed it and ran xf86config. Now, I get a proper-looking gray
background and some text rendered on a broken looking terminal window,
while the little wristwatch twiddle never goes away and the console
doesn't accept input. In other, I think that XFree86 is running OK but
that I have some window manager issue.
Also, if I type startx in the alternate shell I get the following:
Fatal server error:
Server is already active for display 0
If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock
and start again
When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send
the full server output, not just the last messages.
Please report problems to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key
giving up
xinit: unable to connect to X server
xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error.
ls -l /tmp/.X0-lock shows that the lock file was last written at about
boot time as expected.
Does anyone have advice?
Joe
